Ian Pearce · Answer

When considering the use of antacids for peptic ulcer disease, the characteristic statements are:

b. Patients frequently noncompliant with use
c. Prevent conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin
f. High dose and frequency stimulate release of gastrin

Antacids do not directly address H. pylori infection (a), they do not typically cover the ulcer like protectants do (d), and they generally have a lower incidence of side effects and contraindications compared to other medications (e).
